Who invented VAX-D?
The VAX-D Medical Device and the procedure were developed by Allen Dyer, PhD, M.D. Dr. Dyer was a former Deputy Minister of Health in Ontario. Dr. Dyer is licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons National Board of Examiners USA, and the College of Pharmacy. Dr. Dyer also pioneered and published the research leading to the development of the transthoracic heart defibrillator. Dr. Dyer himself suffered from a herniated disc. After conventional therapies failed, he formulated the theories that lead to the design and development of VAX-D therapy. After spending more than 6 years researching and developing the treatment, he introduced VAX-D in 1991. Today there are over 140 VAX-D tables in use through the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia.
